DISASTER

Posted by Eric on May 4, 2006

i just put the deck on my CH 17, Everything was going according to plan until the deck cracked! I was workin on the fore deck and a crack formed about a foot behind the forward deck beam. I finished putting the deck on because there was really no way to take it off or run to my computer to get a quick answer, so now my beautiful boat has a crack about 8 inches long running from the edge of the boat towards the center. can i fix this with wood flour thickened epoxy? my plans of a bright finish are gone, but please help me save my boat!
